Almagel is one of the antacid medicines that is prescribed for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with a violation of acidity. It is able to neutralize hydrochloric acid, which is in the composition of gastric juice in every person. Before starting treatment, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the item "Instructions for the use of Almagel".

The drug contains active ingredient called aluminum hydroxide. This substance is an integral part of all antacids, since it is this substance that actively neutralizes acidity. of hydrochloric acid... As a result of interaction with aluminum hydroxide, a substance is formed - aluminum chloride.

The next component is magnesium hydroxide. It is also able to neutralize the acidic environment of gastric juice, while preventing side effects such as constipation. This undesirable effect can be triggered by the formation of aluminum chloride.

D-sorbitol is also added to the drug, which is able to increase the amount of bile produced, and also has a secondary laxative effect.

Almagel A, in addition to the above components, contains benzocaine, which is responsible for the local anesthetic effect.

Among the properties of the medicinal substance Almagel, the following should be highlighted:

• acid-neutralizing;
• adsorbent;
• gastroprotective;
• and enveloping.

The action of the drug is aimed at neutralizing the hydrochloric acid of gastric juice. In addition, Almagel is able to provide a local anesthetic effect, which helps to overcome the main symptom of gastrointestinal diseases - pain. Medicinal substance is also able to take part in the production of bile (accelerates and improves the excretion of bile). Almagel can be attributed to the group of laxative medicines due to the content of the D-sorbitol component.

The action of Almagel is quite long, which allows you to control the acidity of hydrochloric acid. The uniqueness of the drug lies in the fact that the chemical reaction proceeds without the formation of carbon dioxide. This approach avoids the side effect of flatulence.

In addition, the drug does not harm acid-base balance... The shift in pH is not abrupt, and the contents of the stomach do not become alkaline. Almagel is able to maintain an optimal pH level, which is normally 4.0.

The drug has a very mild effect on the body, and does not provoke a violation of the water-electrolyte balance. After taking Almagel, there were no cases of stone formation in the renal and urinary systems, and the development of alkalosis was not recorded.

The drug itself is produced in the form of a gel. It is in this state that Almagel is able to uniformly envelop the inner wall of the stomach.

The action of the drug begins within a few minutes, and its duration lasts a little more than one hour. This effect is observed after the first intake of Almagel.

: it partially neutralizes the action of hydrochloric acid and reduces the production of gastric juice, and also has anesthetic properties. Its use allows you to get rid of pain and discomfort, as well as eliminate the cause of diseases of the digestive system.

Almagel A: antacid drug

Almagel contains aluminum and magnesium hydroxide, which enter into a neutralization reaction with hydrochloric acid, its products are excreted by the kidneys. Neutralization of gastric juice with increased acidity helps to stop the destructive effect of hydrochloric acid on the gastric mucosa.

Another ingredient is benzocaine, a topical pain reliever that relieves pain. The composition also includes sorbitol, which improves bile secretion and helps to normalize digestion. Normally, taking Almagel gives an easy one that prevents constipation.

Almagel is taken for acute and chronic diseases digestive tract. Among them are acute gastritis, as well as exacerbation of the chronic form, inflammatory processes in small intestine and duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer.

Almagel is also effective remedy with digestive disorders caused by a violation of the diet, prolonged use of drugs or alcohol. It also helps with exacerbations of gastritis caused by smoking. Almagel helps fight foodborne diseases, reflux esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus),.

Benefits over other drugs

Almagel is distinguished by several important qualities that made it one of the most demanded drugs in the fight against inflammatory processes in the stomach and intestines:

1. Does not lead to a sharp change in acidity in the stomach. The pH level remains in the range of 4.0-3.5, which further helps to avoid problems with food digestion.
2. During the neutralization process, hydrochloric acid does not evolve carbon dioxide, therefore, the patient will not be bothered by flatulence, moreover, there will be no repeated increase in acidity, as when taking soda.
3. Does not give any changes in the water-electrolyte balance and does not lead to the formation of calculi in the kidneys.
4. The drug is produced in the form of a gel, which is able to be evenly distributed over the gastric mucosa and duodenum: it protects the digestive tract and fast action... The effect of taking the drug begins to manifest itself after 5 minutes, it will last at least 70 minutes.

Description and photo update: 10.03.2019

Today, people are increasingly suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, among which gastritis and ulcers are the most common diagnoses. To combat such ailments, there are many drugs that have proven their effectiveness more than once. One of these drugs is Almagel. It has been known for over 40 years and has been successfully used to this day to treat diseases of the digestive system. Today we will find out how the types of Almagel differ among themselves, and how this medicine acts on the body.

Almagel copes well with gastrointestinal diseases by regulating the level of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice. The drug has proven itself on the good side, since it does not cause a shift in the pH balance of the stomach and intestines, does not affect the state of the blood and the functioning of the excretory system.

Types of Almagel

This is an antacid drug that neutralizes the acidity of gastric juice and suppresses its excessive proteolytic activity. There are several types of Almagel, and how they differ from each other, you need to figure it out. Let's start with the external differences:

• Almagel - in green packaging;
• Almagel A - in a yellow package;
• Almagel Neo - in orange packaging.

All drugs are available in the form of a thick white suspension in a 170 ml plastic bottle, sold in a cardboard box. Instructions for use are attached. Only Almagel Neo goes on sale in the form of 10 ml sachets, packed in a box of 10 or 20 pcs. Almagel is also in the form of tablets, as a replacement for a suspension. Sold in packs of 12 and 24.

It is worth noting that the drug has two variants of the spelling of the name: Almagel and Almagel. However, these are the names of the same medication.

Composition and action

The composition of the preparation includes active substance and auxiliary components. It is the active ingredients that determine the therapeutic effect of all forms of Almagel.

Almagel

The qualitative composition of the suspension: aluminum hydroxide gel (algeldrat) and magnesium hydroxide paste. Both components have absorbent action... They absorb substances that negatively affect the lining of the stomach and intestines. Another therapeutic effect of these ingredients is enveloping action... A powerful protective barrier is created on the surface of the walls of the stomach, contributing to the even distribution of the drug. This protective layer provides long-term action active ingredients.

Aluminum and magnesium hydroxide have neutralizing action on hydrochloric acid in the lumen of the stomach, resulting in the formation of aluminum and magnesium chloride. Subsequently, passing through the intestines, they are modified into alkaline salts. The proteolytic activity of pepsin decreases, and the environment becomes less aggressive. This is how it manifests itself antacid action medication. The ability to digest hydrochloric acid decreases and, accordingly, its adverse effect on the walls decreases gastric tract... Accelerated healing of erosive and ulcerative lesions occurs, due to the elimination of negative factors. Another advantage is the absence of such a phenomenon as "acid ricochet".

All aluminum compounds, including algeldrat, are characterized by a fixing effect. Magnesium hydroxide, on the contrary, manifests itself as an osmotic laxative, increasing the amount of water in feces, accelerating their passage through the intestines. Sorbitol helps to increase the secretion of bile, providing laxative effect... Thus, these 2 substances complement each other, eliminating the unpleasant effects and causing normal stool.

Almagel A

The only difference between Almagel A and the base suspension is that benzocaine is added to the main components. It is a local anesthetic.

Thanks to this substance, the patient is pronounced and fast analgesic effect... Benzocaine, entering the gastrointestinal tract, blocks the conduction nerve impulses so the pain and discomfort disappear.

It should be remembered that the timing of the use of this type of medication is limited due to the side effects inherent in pain medications.

Almagel Neo

This type differs from the usual one in that it contains an additional component simethicone. This element belongs to the group carminative, and in terms of chemical structure it is an organosilicon compound.

Simethicone reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles v digestive system, stimulating their early destruction and complicating further education. Further, the released gases are absorbed into the intestinal wall and removed by peristalsis to the outside. This type of suspension acts mildly and delicately, relieving dyspeptic disorders.

Any type of drug Almagel can be found at the pharmacy. The price of the medicine varies from 150 to 300 rubles.

Indications for use

Indications for the use of all types of Almagel are similar, with the exception of a few points.

The use of suspensions of antacid action is prescribed:

• for the treatment of acute or chronic gastritis with normal or elevated level of hydrochloric acid;
• in the treatment of ulcerative manifestations of the stomach and duodenum during periodic exacerbation;
• to carry out preventive measures;
• at complex treatment esophagitis, duodenitis, enteritis, hernia;
• to relieve food intoxication;
• to protect the walls of the stomach from the negative effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Besides green Almagel recommended for indigestion. This is the best option for heartburn attacks, to eliminate discomfort after malnutrition or the influence of harmful factors.

Doctors prescribe yellow Almagel A in cases where a painful symptom is pronounced, accompanied by vomiting and nausea. When the intense pain subsides, the accompanying symptoms disappear, the patient is advised to switch to the classic suspension.

Effectively relieves bloating (flatulence) orange Almagel Neo, which is used for putrefactive or fermentative dyspepsia.

Almagel is used to relieve symptoms and treat various diseases Gastrointestinal tract. Each type of medicine is responsible for its own area of ​​action, carefully check with the gastroenterologist which Almagel is right for you.

Mode of application

Almagel comes in the form of a suspension and tablets. Before using the suspension, it is imperative to shake the contents of the vial in order for it to acquire a homogeneous composition.

The required dosage of the drug is determined by the gastroenterologist, depending on the age of the patient and the severity of the disease itself. Adults are prescribed from 5 to 10 ml. a single dose of the drug three times a day. Twice before meals for 30 minutes, and the last part is drunk before bedtime. If after a while there is no improvement in the patient's condition, the dosage is increased. The maximum allowable amount per day should not exceed 80 ml. (16 measuring spoons).

The dosage of Almagel for children should be strictly determined by the doctor. Below are just recommendations.

• Children under 10 years old: 1.7-3.5 ml.
• Children aged 10-15: 2.5-5 ml.
• Teenagers over 15 years old: 5-10 ml.

Use by adults

Suspension Almagel begins to act within 5 minutes, and the therapeutic effect lasts up to 2 hours. The liquid can be drunk only 30 minutes after taking the antacid. If, in addition to this medication, you also drink other medications, then it is recommended to observe an interval between doses of at least one hour. During treatment, it is undesirable to drink antibiotics, antihistamines and heart medications.

Almagel can be combined with other means, but the expected result will not be the same. This also applies to drinks containing caffeine, which reduces the effectiveness of therapy.

Almagel A is taken in the same way as classic Almagel in green packaging. The instructions indicate the following indications: exacerbation of stomach and duodenal ulcers, enteritis, duodenitis, exacerbation of acute and chronic gastritis, hernia of the diaphragm, acid reflux, colitis, indigestion, epigastric pain due to malnutrition, diabetes. If you have severe, acute pain, nausea and vomiting, then a suspension with an anesthetic is better suited for therapy.

Almagel Neo is prescribed an hour after a meal at a dosage of 5 ml. - this is the whole difference between this drug and others from the Almagel series. You can drink up to 60 ml per day. It differs from other drugs in orange flavor. Allowed for children only from 10 years old in an amount of 5 ml. at one time.

special instructions

The medicine is produced in the form of a suspension - a gel, which ensures its rapid and even distribution throughout the digestive system. The antacid begins to act gently, creating reliable protection and not leading to a sharp decrease in acidity, so problems with food digestion are excluded.

If the drug is taken for a long time, phosphorus deficiency may occur, because it is able to remove it from the body. Therefore, the lack of phosphorus must be replenished with special preparations or balanced nutrition.

Almagel Neo contains alcohol. For this reason, it should be taken with caution by people with impaired liver function, alcohol dependence, and epilepsy. The presence of alcohol does not in any way affect concentration and reaction speed. It is prescribed even to patients whose activity determines perseverance and attentiveness.

Patients with fructose intolerance are not recommended to be treated with this medicine, since it contains sorbitol. It can provoke mucosal irritation and diarrhea in this category of people.

Read the instructions carefully before using the medicine.

Side effects

Side effects occur in isolated cases, if the doctor's prescriptions are not followed. As a rule, these are:

• allergic manifestations;
• nausea and vomiting;
• change in taste;
• pain and cramps in the epigastrium;
• drowsiness and thirst;
• constipation or diarrhea.

When the sick person is suffering renal failure and uses high doses of the suspension, this can lead to negative phenomena that are significantly different from other consequences. These include:

• the appearance of edema;
• an increase in the concentration of magnesium and aluminum in the blood, and calcium in the urine;
• pressure drop;
• dementia and encephalopathy.

Possibility of overdose

Long-term therapy in high doses of Almagel Neo may differ from treatment with other types of the drug by the occurrence of an overdose. The main symptoms are: increased fatigue and nervousness, changeable mood, slow breathing, numbness and muscle pain, inadequate response to events, hyperemia (redness) of the face. To eliminate such negative signs, you need to cleanse the body from an excess of medication.

Such activities are carried out as: gastric lavage, stimulation of vomiting, laxatives and sorbents are given.

Contraindications

Here are the contraindications for all forms of Almagel:

• hypersensitivity to its components;
• Alzheimer's disease.

It is worth taking medication with caution during pregnancy. We only admit the reception of the usual type of Almagel. It is allowed to drink it for a maximum of 3 days and as symptomatic remedy as it can harm the development of the fetus.
